These proceedings are the result of a three-day meeting held in
Oogliani (Italy), on October 2-4 2003, whose title was "VIrtual
Astrophysical Jets 2003". Our goal in convening this meeting was to
gather some of the scientists among the most active in the field of
numerical simulations and modelling of astrophysi cal jets. For
keeping the participants close to the "real world", we also invited
a few observers to give up-to-date reviews outlining the
state-of-the-art of jet observations. The principal aim of the
meeting was thus to present and critically discuss the
state-of-the-art numerical simulations, analytical models and
laboratory ex periments for reproducing the main aspects of
astrophysical jets and compar ing them with observations. The
discussion has been focused on the following topics: * Observations
and intepretions of jets from young stars and AGNs, comparisons of
models with observations; * MHO accelerations of jets: steady
self-similar models, MHO numerical simula tions of time-dependent
accelerations mechanisms; * Jet stability and interaction with the
ambient: formation of knots in YSO jets, jet survival to
instabilities, deceleration of relativistic jets in FRI sources,
simulations of jets-IGM interactions, jets propagation and galaxy
formation; * Numerical codes and their validation: relativistic MHO
codes, comparisons among different numerical schemes, jets in the
laboratory and code validation. These topics have been discussed
intensively during the meeting, and the out come of these
discussions is presented in this volume. The contributions have
been divided in five sections.
